About the Job
JAYDEN is grounded, emotionally mature, and deeply compassionate. He’s the kind of person who carries quiet strength; steady, calm, and observant. Beneath his composure, there’s depth and empathy. He doesn’t speak much, but when he does, his words hold weight. He’s a creative soul, possibly a poet, musician, or someone who’s been through pain but learned to channel it into encouragement for others.
JAYDEN is LAYLA’S emotional anchor. He reminds her of her strength and the power of expression through art. He’s not “performative” with emotion; it’s subtle, felt through tone, energy, and presence rather than big gestures.
When reading for JAYDEN:
• Ground the emotion. Less acting, more truth.
• Deliver lines with warmth and sincerity, not preachiness.
• JAYDEN feels like someone who’s lived through hardship but learned peace.
• A stillness and gentleness should come through in your eyes and body language.
• Think real conversation. He’s not trying to convince LAYLA, he’s reminding her of what she already knows.
